8 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (May 9th)
7. A Bruising Debut
When Emma returned to the Raw roster a while back, it raised the question of whether she would ever return to NXT, where she had reinvented herself as part of a duo with Dana Brooke. The two were not extremely successful in the ring, but they perfect their heel act quite well.
We got our answer Monday when Emma confronted Becky Lynch about the Aussies shady victory last week. Just as Emma told Becky that she needed eyes in the back of her head, Dana blindsided the Irish Lass-Kicker and the two friends pummelled her. Immediately, we got a new heel tandem in the womens division, essentially replacing Team BAD (with Naomi and Tamina on the shelf).
The attack fit the duos M.O. from NXT, while introducing Brooke to the WWE audience as a tough heel right out of the gate. It remains to be seen how things go for Dana and whether she can make an impression on the main roster her NXT career was checkered with successes and setbacks but shell now apparently get her chance.
